Synthesis of amine functionalized graphite nanosheets and their water-soluble derivative for drug loading and controlled release

Abstract: A facile route to synthesize amine (-NH 2 ) functionalized graphite nanosheets (AFGNS) by 2-step controlled chemical modification of microcrystalline graphite is described. The method begins with nitration by mixed acid (HNO 3 : H 2 SO 4 in 1 : 1 v/v ratio), followed by reduction with Na 2 S to form AFGNS. The AFGNS was reacted with carboxylic acid-terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains (MeO-mPEG-COOH, M W = 5000 Da) in the presence of a carbodiimide coupling agent to obtain a water-soluble PEGylated AFGN… Show more

“…The peak at 21.7 for an inter planar distance of 4.1 Å is due to intercalation of few -NH 2 group in between the nanosheets during synthesis of AFGNS. 13,37 It is noteworthy to mention here that in case of MnO 2 there is an increase in the ratio of the intensities of ( 110) and (101) diffraction peaks compared to the conventional value (3.4 versus 1.25 calculated with respect to counts). This indicates the oriented growth of the MnO 2 NP along the (110) plane leading to the formation of nanowires.…”

“…42 The D/G ratio was $0.25 which was attributed to the functionalization of GNS with -NH 2 group in AFGNS. 37 However, along with the peak due to D-band, a smaller hump was observed at 1220 cm À1 due to disordered graphitic lattice (A 1g symmetry or polyenes) in the Raman spectrum of MnO 2 @AFGNS. 42 The origin of this peak is believed to be due to some deformation in the nanosheets of AFGNS owing to self limiting redox reaction between KMnO 4 and AFGNS.…”

“…DOX was loaded onto SEGn-FC-Na following a procedure described in our earlier report. 41 In this process, 0.15 mg mL −1 of SEGn-FC-Na in water was sonicated with DOX solution of initial concentration 0.22 mg mL −1 at neutral pH (pH = 7) for 30 min. This solution was then stirred for 24 h in dark at room temperature (25 • C).…”
